Pentax Q10 Reviews

Imaging-resource reviews the Pentax Q10 and writes;“Shooting modes and functions should be familiar to those who’ve used the Q. The Pentax Q10 features the bokeh control function to create areas of foreground and/or background defocus, as well as nine Smart Effect modes that provide a lot of creative flexibility.”rating: N/A

Photographyblog reviews the Pentax Q10 and writes;“The Pentax Q10 produced photos of good quality. Noise is fairly well controlled by the Pentax Q10, starting to appear at ISO 800 and becoming more easily detectable at the faster settings of ISO 1600 and 3200 when viewing images at 100% magnification on screen. The fastest setting of 6400 looks much better on paper than in reality.”Rating:

Ephotozine reviews the Pentax Q10 and writes;“The Pentax Q10 has a good set of features and has extremely solid, well-built body. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into its design and it’s one of the best looking Pentax cameras you’re likely to find, particularly in red! Unfortunately image quality isn’t fantastic, about as good as you’ll find on an average compact camera, but colour reproduction is good.”Rating:

Digitalcamerainfo reviews the Pentax Q10 and writes;“The Pentax Q10 offers almost all the software features you could ask for from a full-size DSLR, including interval, time lapse, HDR, and full manual shooting. The camera also offers RAW shooting, fairly quick autofocus, focus peaking, and a continuous shooting rate of 5 frames per second.”rating: N/A

Techradar reviews the Pentax Q10 and writes;“Like the Pentax Q, the Pentax Q10 has a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor with 12.4 million effective pixels, but the new camera has a back-illuminated sensor, which should mean less image noise. Nevertheless, Pentax hasn’t pushed the maximum sensitivity level beyond the ISO 6400 maximum of the Q.”rating: N/A

Pocket-lint reviews the Pentax Q10 and writes;“Video can be recorded in Full HD (1920 x 1080 at 30fps) using the H.264 file format, and Smart Effect image processing modes can be applied to footage as well as stills. There are also movie editing tools built into the camera, and autofocus works while capturing moving images.”rating: N/A

Whatdigitalcamera reviews the Pentax Q10 and writes;“An AF Assist Light is provided on the camera body to optimise focusing accuracy in dark shooting environments, while the Face Recognition AF function automatically detects up to 12 faces and pinpoints the focus on the main subject.”rating: N/A
